Iran Revolutionary Guards Seize Foreign Ship In Gulf For Smuggling Fuel

DUBAI, April 24 (Reuters) –Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards have actually confiscated an international vessel in the Gulf for contraband 200,000 litres of gas, an elderly Guards leader informed the semi-official Fars information firm onSunday

“The ship was seized in the northern part of the Persian Gulf. Its eight crew have been handed over to legal authorities in the southern port city of Bushehr,” Gholamhossein Hosseini informed Fars, without clarifying on the races of the team participants.

Iran, which has several of the globe’s most affordable gas costs because of hefty aids as well as the dive in worth of its nationwide money, has actually been combating widespread gas contraband by land to adjoining nations as well as by sea to Gulf Arab states.

The Guards have actually restrained a number of ships in the previous weeks for contraband gas in the Gulf.
